I LOVE running. It has been my main form of meditation for as long as I can remember. Every year I run the TC 10km and the Royal Victoria Half Marathon. They are two of my most favourite running events and they give me a chance to set new goals for myself speed-wise :). Recently I've added the Oak Bay Kool Half Marathon to my quiver of running races. I ran this event last year with a good friend who wanted to train for and run her first 1/2 marathon. It was a real 'first' for me to not be competitive in a race, but it didn't matter as I got to support my friend in achieving her own 'first'. TC website
Another thing I must share is a photo of my two girls. They are so much fun and my husband and I make it a priority to fill our time together with lots of fun, outdoors activities! We love the beach and live just down the road from one. This pic was taken this Christmas. It was our answer to the "boxing day shop" :). The provided link is the place where we sometimes find our inspiration for our daily getaways: Walking trails online guide
The picture below is of our third 'child' and occasional horse, Harry. This pic was taken on a recent camping trip to Jordan River. My favourite thing about this spot in the world? There is no cell phone reception and little wifi. As a family, we get to go 'offline', which is becoming a feat that requires Herculean effort these days :).

About me, the educator: I am a huge fan of the quarterly publication Educause. While this publication is mostly directed a post secondary education, there are a lot of interesting articles on subjects that translate well into K-12 sector as well. Educause Review
